    Hi and welcome to the forum.

    Pictures are rarely much use. Please upload the workbook.

    Re: Problem looking up a value by using a drop down box

    Toatlly agree that we need a sample workbook, rather than a pic.

    However, you your "supplier in teh 2nd pic - yellow highlight - has the same amount of rows each time ("for Confucion/Purchase/etc") then you could use INDEX/MATCH, something like...
    =INDEX('supply Data'!$G:$G,match($D$6,'supply data'!$C:$C,0)+4)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Did you try my suggestion?
    I noticed that I had 1 reference wrong...
    =INDEX('supply Data'!$G:$G,match($c$6,'supply data'!$C:$C,0)+4)

    Pontiac,

    why did you delete your original question after getting answer?
    Point of public forum is that everyone has benefits of it.
    You are willing to ask for help and get one but you are not willing to share solution with others?

    That's sad
